Description
Tens of thousands of people turn out in London to march in support of Palestinians, calling for an end to the now eight-month war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza and for the British government to halt arms exports to Israel. The health ministry in Hamas-run Gaza said on Saturday that at least 36,801 people have been killed in the territory since the war began when Hamas militants attacked Israel on October 7, resulting in the deaths of 1,194 people, according to an AFP tally based on official Israeli figures. "A ceasefire is just putting a plaster on it. It needs more than a ceasefire. It needs both to live in harmony, not one over the other," says Weybudur Rahman, a financial consultant attending the protest. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
